The Giant's House
by Elizabeth McCracken
I was excited to read "The Giant's House", because it was recommended by a professor I really like. However, I was a little disappointed. The story is well-written, but I did not find myself connecting with ANY of the characters in the book, so it left me feeling unmoved as the story goes on. Peggy Cort, the librarian, is a strange narrator and she seems to be trying to alienate her readers. This is definitely a melancholy book, with a few strange twists. I liked it, and might recommend it to some readers, but it was not my favorite, and definitely not the favorite recommendation from my professor.
